At Least This I Know

At Least This I Know

Andrés N. Ordorica

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

The powerful debut collection exploring ancestry, racism, nationhood, activism and queerness in a journey through childhood to adulthood. Part debut poetry collection, part journey through the author's life, At Least This I Know is a collection exploring ancestry, racism, nationhood, activism, and queerness. These poems are a means of working through belonging both in a physical sense and emotional. Be it the belonging of immigrant bodies in new countries, or the belonging of the queer self within found families and safe spaces. This debut confronts trauma and pain, while making space for joy and humour, and ultimately redemption.

    Poetry always feels just a bit over my head, but I enjoyed this collection, especially its themes of home and immigration.
